Luke 9:31

Luke 9:31

29 As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening.

30 And behold, two men talked with Him, who were ^aMoses and ^bElijah,

31 who appeared in glory and spoke of His¹ decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

32 But Peter and those with him ^awere heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him.

33 Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three¹ tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said.

34 While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the ^acloud.

His decease - , That going out (or death) of his. That peculiar kind of death - its nature, circumstances, and necessity being considered. Instead of , thirteen MSS. have , glory. They spoke of that glory of his, which he was about to fill up ( ) at Jerusalem. The Ethiopic unites both readings. The death of Jesus was his glory, because, by it, he gained the victory over sin, death, and hell, and purchased salvation and eternal glory for a lost world.
